Approximate calculation using a simplified model: for designing equipment and process modes, consult a technologist.

What the calculator computes

Calculates how much tartaric acid to add to raise the acidity or how much calcium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate to add to lower it.

The titratable acidity is used, expressed as tartaric acid (g/L). The doses are indicative: add in portions and check the result by analysis; the permitted limits depend on the rules.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
